Joo Koon MRT Station after train collision

- Picture by Low Youjin/TODAY SINGAPORE, Nov 15 - Twenty-three passengers sustained minor injuries and had to be taken to nearby hospitals after a collision between two trains at Joo Koon MRT station this morning.

Transit operator SMRT said 23 passengers and two staff suffered light to moderate injuries and have been taken to hospital.

The Straits Times understands that the incident has to do with a malfunction of the new signalling system.

Commuters reported on social media that passengers on the moving train fell down when the collision occurred.

The injured passengers had already been sent to hospitals, SCDF said, adding that many of them sustained minor injuries. A second train stopped behind the faulty train at the station at 0819 AM but moved forward unexpectedly a minute later, coming into contact with the stationary train.
